Narrate Church

Isaiah 40v1-11
John 1v19-51

This week, Adam elaborates on the message heralded by John the Baptist and personified in the coming of Christ. What is the Gospel that John testified freely to? What did the coming Spirit have to do with Jesus' mission? What if the Gospel is about how Jesus became King?

Psalm 105v1-6
John 1v1-18

This week, Adam challenges our thoughts on the Holy Spirit. What does it mean that it was to our advantage that Jesus had to go away in order for us to receive the Spirit? What does it look like to receive the Spirit? Is it easier for us today to experience God with us than even those who walked with Jesus?

Isaiah 44v1-8
John 1v1-18

In the second week of our Gospel of John series, Adam draws attention to John the Baptist. Why is he mentioned, almost abruptly, in the middle of the apostle John's opening chapter about Jesus? What role did John the Baptist serve in Jesus's ministry? And how might God be nudging you to steward your opportunities to tell His story?

Proverbs 8v1-8, 22-36
John 1v1-5

In this series kick-off, Adam digs into the first few verses of the Gospel of John. What does it mean that the Word was in the beginning, that He was with God, and was God? What claim is John making? And how might it speak into your own life?

Psalm 124
Matthew 28

This week Adam recounted Narrate's life since Covid - what changes have taken place and where are we headed? What does it look like to be the church, present to culture while also staying faithful to our call to live an alternative story? 

Psalm 133
Matthew 3v1-12

This week Adam unloaded different views on baptism - why we partake and what it means. Is baptism about an individual stepping out in faith, or is baptism about an individual stepping into faith community? Is baptism for infants or is baptism for people old enough to choose to follow Jesus? Is baptism optional?

Psalm 105v1-6, 16-22, 45b
Ruth 4v17b-22
Hebrews 11v1-12v4

As Adam wraps up our study on Ruth, he invites us to look at the larger picture. How did Ruth's story tie into God's larger story? And do we prioritize our individual faith journeys, or consider how we fit into God's ever-expanding story?

Psalm 17v1-7, 15
Ruth 4v1-17a

This week, Justin spoke into the qualities of Boaz. What caused Boaz to become the Kinsman Redeemer for Ruth? Whose story is this? And what happens when we as how we fit into God's story instead of how God fits into ours?

Psalm 105v1-11, 45b
Ruth 3

This week, Hannah continued our study of Ruth, focusing on Ruth's courageous approach toward Boaz. What was her intention, what was she asking, and on whose behalf? What does it look like to be an active participant in God's story? 

Psalm 139v1-12, 23-24
Ruth 2

This week, Adam talks on the second chapter of Ruth when she went out to provide for herself and Naomi and just happened to end up in Boaz's field. How did God show up in His faithfulness to Ruth? To Naomi? To Boaz? Was it in the way any of them expected? And are you open to God showing His faithfulness in your life, maybe in ways you did not expect?
